Like most journals of this type - there are a couple gems - most notably the last two articles by Mosley and Gee. I appreciate what this journal series is attempting - however by volume two they still seem to be only getting half of their goal - indeed a great home for apologetics but have still excluded the "mom in Ogden" as they focus is important to them in the states mission.
